One local artist has made it his mission to show the true grit of Maine fishermen in a way that channels the beauty of their connection to our natural surroundings from the ground up.

Landscape painting has taken on new meaning in the hands of local artist Martha Truscott, who leans into the darkness while shaping the light with an ethereal cast that reminds the viewer that less is more on the coast of Maine.

Harpswell summer resident Alan Lightman hosts the new PBS series “Searching: Our Quest for Meaning in the Age of Science.” The series features scenes shot near his home on an island in Casco Bay, according to the Portland Press Herald.

Joann Gardner, a part-time resident of Bailey Island and frequent contributor to the Harpswell Anchor, will publish a book of poems, “Heart’s Core,” in March.

Brody Bernheisel chose Harpswell for the first short film he has written, directed and produced, and it was a success. “A Mother’s Nature,” a six-minute narrative, was shot off Mountain Road in June 2021 and won awards nationally and internationally.

Deep within the woodlands along the shores of Middle Bay, there is an artist who has found his calling. In his woodworking, Paulus Wanrooij captures the harmony, beauty, and functionality with the tranquil essence of the natural elements that surround him.

What is the sound of Harpswell?
Maybe waves crashing on the rocky shore. The laughing of a gull or the sharp cry of an osprey circling overhead. A lobster boat chugging out at dawn to haul a line of traps.

Meraki Gallery, formerly of Orr’s Island, has found its way to Harpswell Neck with a new lease on life, thanks to local artists Lee Centeno and Suzanne Wakefield.
